Cal’s loss to Santa Clara, off the back of its win at No. 10 Florida State, is illustrative of the Bears’ biggest difficulty this season: replicating their success.

Despite his recent cancer diagnosis, former Cal pitcher Jack Delmore has continued to seek positivity while bettering himself and his community.

For a team that slots in the top half of the conference in most pitching categories, the Bears’ recent offensive outburst is a strong sign of a budding Pac-12 contender.

Game three of the series, a 5-2 loss in Stockton, displayed all of the Bears’ early season flaws, both offensively and defensively.

Despite some ugly statistics, Cal’s pitching staff performed much better than its numbers indicated in 2020. To see the full narrative, we have to go beyond the front-line score sheet and behind the numbers.

Junior outfielder Connor Mack and sophomore pitcher Nick Proctor were named to the Academic All-District Baseball Team on May 14 for their accomplishments in the classroom and on the diamond.

Cal baseball hit the road for the opening series of their 2020 campaign beginning on Valentine’s Day. They hung tough, but only managed a sole victory against Long Beach State and UC Santa Barbara.

The Bears hung tough with the Dirtbags for a three-game set in Long Beach and won game three despite dropping the first two outings.
